Mr E Kellett v Resindrives.co.uk Ltd (in voluntary liquidation) Heard on 11 August 2020 This has been a remote hearing, by CVP (V): A hearing in person was not practicable because of the present restrictions due to Covid 19. — 2020

At the remote hearing on 11 August 2020, before Employment Judge D N Jones, Mr Kellett appeared in person and the respondent did not attend. The tribunal found that he had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was therefore entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,361.55, calculated on a weekly pay figure of £453.85 and three years of continuous employment.

The tribunal also held that the respondent breached the contract of employment by failing to give notice of termination, and ordered damages of £1,361.55, calculated as £453.85 gross pay for three weeks. In addition, the tribunal found that the claimant had been unfairly dismissed and that he was owed £453.55 gross for 9 days of untaken holiday leave.

The written judgment does not set out a separate monetary award for the unfair dismissal finding beyond the specific sums awarded for redundancy payment, notice pay damages, and holiday pay. No discrimination issues were identified in the judgment.
